The Sporting Times of New York
gives the following about Anson:
"The man who, ever since he has
worn the uniform of the Chicago club,
has worked hard and faithfully for its
success, and who has led it to victory
oftener than have the captains OF the
other league teams taken collectively,
is guyed and Kissed and given the
cold shoulder, while the man who de-
liberately juggled the ball and played
a half-hearted game at New York is
patted upon the back and cheered to
the echo, all because his captain fined
him for careless and stupid work upon
the diamond. Now, in the largeness
of their assinine hearts, the cranks OF
this city are shifting over the poor
abused boy and casting execration at
the teams captain, who properly pun
ished insubordination, that he might
preserve discipline. Was anything
ever more unjust or more thoroughly
worthy of denunciation ?"
It was close match between Wise

ton Globes silver bat for champion
